Chicago Professional Chemical Peels

Schaumburg and Chicago residents who are concerned about their aging skin

should consult a professional for a skin analysis. A doctor or esthetician can determine which conditions can be treated and recommend the right solution for a patient's particular cosmetic type. If the patient has no allergy to acidic substances, then light, medium or deep professional chemical peels can be performed with the results safely and accurately predicted.

A chemical peel consists of an application of alphahydroxy, trichloroacetic or other acids to skin, in order to cause an exfoliation of the outer layer of tissue. Patients with skin that appears dull, patchy or creased can benefit from this chemical treatment that removes the problem tissue and encourages the growth of a new, healthier dermis. The procedure may cause some warmth in the treated area. Usually, only a deep treatment will cause enough discomfort to warrant the use of anaesthesia.

Chicago Medical Spas Offer Professional Chemical Peels

Of the three levels of chemical peels, light and medium cost the least but require many repeat sessions. Deep facial treatments can be priced significantly more, in the range of conventional facelifts, but do not entail surgery and are performed only once. The patient will experience redness and some crusting as the old tissue dries and peels away. The result for any level of this professional service, however, is fresher-looking skin in a matter of days.

Certified professionals at a clinic such as NuU Medspa can fully inform prospective patients about procedures, prices and follow-up care. They can also suggest additional treatment options and payment plans. NuU has convenient locations in Chicago, Oakbrook, Schaumburg, Naperville and Skokie.
